Shaun Ransom is a Director at Simple, bringing hands-on experience in electrical systems, fire safety and smoke control to the team. His journey in the industry began with an electrical apprenticeship, specialising in fire alarm installations. From there, Shaun honed his skills as a subcontractor before moving into more technical and leadership-focused roles in companies including Firenso.

At Simple, Shaun’s focus is on the technical delivery of projects – ensuring that each system is designed and implemented with precision and a deep understanding of compliance, functionality and ease of use. His current focus is on high-level technical oversight and company-wide development.

Shaun has worked extensively across residential high-rise projects, particularly in large-scale tower blocks, and is well-versed in the specific challenges and standards that come with these environments. His core passion lies in reshaping the smoke control industry – moving away from the traditional, closed-door approach and pushing for more transparency, collaboration and simplicity in how systems are delivered and maintained.

Looking ahead, Shaun’s vision for Simple is clear: to become a leading competitor to the big names in the industry by offering smarter, more open and more approachable solutions – while driving real change in how smoke control is understood and implemented.
